Elucidating Questions

Being mentally ill does not invalidate a person

Being insane is not a sign of morality

These things are merely what tags on to a person through life

Can insane people be dangerous?

Absolutely, but we created that danger ourselves

And I’m sick of seeing people act as if because you’re mentally ill your opinion doesn’t matter

Like you can’t have sane thoughts

Like it’s impossible to be right and having a meltdown

Or a panic attack

Like it’s impossible to trust a person who is mentally ill

Like things they say about their own experiences must contain some measure of a lie or misrepresentation

If I discredited the allegedly sane based on how many allegedly sane have mistreated me, or lied, or what have you

It’d be the sane I’d vote for locking up

I’ve been mistreated by some insane people, and some mentally ill people

The allegedly sane take the cake

That’s how we got to where we are, right?

Following the allegedly sane people

And every once in a while we’d look back and go oh that one was insane, that explains everything

While conveniently ignoring all the allegedly sane people who committed monstrosities

No, that’s fine, they were sane

???

Meanwhile the allegedly sane march us to our doom

No one thinks maybe it’s time we listened to people we discounted for thousands of years

Collectively?

I bet us insane people have a better grip on what’s going on in the world than the allegedly sane do

People don’t seem to understand that mental health is a mirror of society

How it affects those of us who feel too much

I had this idea for a book where there was a logical race and a feeling race and the logical race had like subjugated and oppressed the feeling race

Different story, different setting

A little too close to home

Being mentally ill doesn’t change that there is a human being standing there

When they tell you their experiences, believe them

They probably demonized the mentally ill throughout the ages because their position on society was inconvenient

Dissenters were probably locked up and erased that way

They still are but in different ways

I’ll bet you that mentally ill angry guy on the street corner knows how this society works better than anyone housed and allegedly sane

And that the anger is not only warranted,

It’s self defense
